Storms and Convective discussion - May 2024

[CoventryWeather]

Think I've got a development overhead. Seemed to develop rather rapidly. 

Edit: Echos to my south west, keeping an eye out on possible funnel developments. Seem to be in a small convergence zone.

 Flash bang flash bang etc Not cleared here I just don't see it.

Storm just missed us here in Plymouth but saw some interesting clouds this afternoon once they finally penetrated that inversion.

Fascinating structure

[Cain]

Keeping an eye on the cell just out side eastern wales hopefully can get visual if close enough 

[SilverWolf]

Interesting in Stroud…Crackling thunder with some loud booming too, sheet lightning and torrential rain.... old school little storm! 

[MrNooo]

 SilverWolf Yes have been watching it from here.

[Josh Rubio]

Is that large area of precipitation currently over West Yorkshire expected to move down into the Midlands tonight? 

[Turquoise]

Gone quiet dark here in Cheshire but can't see anything on radar to suggest rain or thunder 

[SilverWolf]

 MrNooo Looks like the sweet spot was probably Oakridge way…. 

[It's a Philcast]

Nice view of storms from here, heading across Stratford upon Avon area.

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

Just kind of murky here

[Turquoise]

that dark cloud came to nothing in the end, must be from the stuff south of Birmingham. Another day of having storms to the north, south, east and west but nothing close by. Oh well

[Cain]

Sure I can see the cells near Gloucester from here 

[Jasper Foxx]

Seem to have avoided the storms in Frome today but have had a few on-off heavy showers. Proper big raindrops too which has been nice.

 Cain dying off now

[Cain]

 viking_smb yeah everything today has been everywhere but my location 

[BlueHedgehog074]

Around 10 to 15 minutes ago looking South from Eastern Solihull. 
 

Storm shield held quite strong here today (though considering there was a May Day walk earlier that had went to, wasn’t too fussed much as I would love to see a thunderstorm). Looks like a few of you got hit badly with slow moving showers and big loud bangs ️

[Metwatch]

Could see it developing to my south west from here, but too much lower cloud to get a good view of the structure and eventually drifted off further to Evesham.

 

 

 

[Cain]

Still a few heavy showers around I see 

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

It’s the end of the book ppl. Stop reading!

[Jamie M]

 Flash bang flash bang etc

Got to inspect the blurb thoroughly 

[Sprites]

 Jamie M  Oops I thought there were two funnels in that pic, it's one long one.
